Course description

In its 9th edition in 2013, the STUNT 100 mile run is to be run on a new course.
Here is what you still get – the basics:
• A 100 mile run in the scenic countryside around Sibbesse
• The course is divided into four different, consecutive legs with the soccer field in Sibbesse as a “race hub”
• A low-key event with friendly, dedicated staff; and a family-like atmosphere among everybody.
Here is what’s new in 2013, what you also get:
• More single trails
• More vertical gain
• Even more of the scenic countryside, more of those hills
• Greater distances between aid stations
• Fewer asphalted stretches
• Fewer briars and stinging nettles, less undergrowth
• In general: a more demanding course

The course of the STUNT 100 Mile Run is divided into four different back-to-back legs with the soccer field in Sibbesse functioning as its “race hub”. Despite short sections on asphalted roads or pathes, the STUNT is chiefly a trail run. Most portions are on single trails and jeep / forest roads, leading up and down steep creek valleys, over rolling hills, and alongside beautiful fields and meadows.
1st leg: Trailrunner’s Paradise. 48.7 km (30.3 mi), 1,305 meters (4,281 ft) of vertical gain.
Mostly in the Hildesheim forest area to the north of Sibbesse. Lots of trails and ups and downs.
2nd leg: Running the Moguls. 54 km (33.5 mi), 1,525 meters (5,003 ft) of vertical gain.
Through the woods and over the hills to the south and southwest of Sibbesse. Get nice overlooks from the top of the “Seven hills” above the Leine river valley.
3rd leg: The Külf Mountain Traverse. 37.8 km (23.5 mi), 789 meters (2,588 ft) of vertical gain.
The night ride: Even more hills; a steep ravine; and a beautiful, long single trail traversing the Külf mountain.
4th leg: The Capper. 20.4 km (12,7 mi), 441 meters (1,447 ft) of vertical gain
